I am a postdoc at the University of Chicago Data Science Institute, working with Mina Lee. My research interests lie at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction, Social Computing, and Responsible AI. I design and evaluate human-centered technology to support users' learning and knowledge work, focusing primarily on online education and AI-assisted writing contexts. I approach this goal from two angles: (1) designing interactive systems that scaffold cognitive processes in sensemaking and content creation, and (2) fostering responsible use of technology.
I previously earned a PhD in Computer Science from UC Davis, advised by Hao-Chuan Wang, and dual BSc degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.

TL;DR: Using EduPrompt, we find that learning companion chatbot's personas and message styles influence learners' perceptions and reactions in video-based learning.
FAccT 2026 · ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency
TL;DR: We studied how perspective (reader or writer of the text), purpose (the goal of reading or writing), and procedural factors (how AI was used) influences perceived necessity of AI disclosure in AI-assisted writing.
Under Review
TL;DR: We introduce voluntary friction to foster mindful LLM use in AI-assisted writing.
